FWUPDATE utility
The FWUPDATE utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS).
To use the utility to upgrade the firmware:
1.
Download the FWUPDATE flash component from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support Center
website (
http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc
).
2.
Save the FWUPDATE flash components to a USB key.
3.
Set the boot order so the USB key will boot first using one of the following options:
o
Configure the boot order so the USB key is the first bootable device.
o
Press
F11
(Boot Menu) when prompted during system boot to access the
One-Time Boot
Menu
. This menu allows you to select the boot device for a specific boot and does not modify the
boot order configuration settings.
4.
Insert the USB key into an available USB port.
5.
Boot the system.
The FWUPDATE utility checks the system and provides a choice (if more than one exists) of
available firmware revisions.
